My grade five school talent night was to be my debut as a dancer. Keep in mind that even at the time I was a "jock." Our class was to dance the Alley Cat in front of all the parents. I was relegated to the back row wih some of my buddies who were as rhythmically challenged as I was. The record started, we were doing our thing when it started to skip. Of course some people tried to keep going and got all messed up, I ended up folding my arms on my chest and standing still glaring out at the parents and teachers laughing hysterically.

It was a long time before I got on stage again.
